Description: A navigation bar or menu is one of the most important elements of your website. The Zapatec DHTML Menu is a search engine friendly, attractive, and versatile way to help your users navigate your web site. Use the Zapatec DHTML Menu as a site map, an application menu or a way to display your data. While the Zapatec DHTML Menu works in all modern browsers, it degrades gracefully in older browsers -- it displays the underlying HTML code.
The Zapatec DHTML Menu Features
Easy to use HTML to Create the DHTML Menu
Unlike most other DHTML menus, you build the Zapatec DHTML Menu using HTML, not Javascript. You don't need to learn any new functions or worry about making javascript syntax errors. You construct the DHTML Menu just as you would nested HTML lists using <ul> and <li>.
Search Engine Friendly
Since the DHTML Menu is created using HTML, search engines can follow the links , which they can't do if the menu is built in Javascript. This is crucial for sites that care about SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
Include HTML Markup in Your Menu
An additional benefit of the Menu being created using HTML is that you can include most standard HTML markup into your menu including tooltips and form elements such as check marks and input boxes.
Many themes to choose from
Choose from the many themes included with the menu. Since the Menu's themes are created entirely in CSS adjusting or creating a new theme is both familiar and easy.
Horizontal or vertical menus
Configure the Zapatec DHTML Menu as either a vertical or horizontal menu.
On hover or on click activation
Configure the sub-menus to show either when users hover over the menu headers or when they click on them.
Supported on a Wide Variety of Browsers
The DHTML Menu's code has been tested on Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, Mozilla 1.2 and up, Opera 7 and up Firefox 0.8 and up, Konqueror 3.1.2 and up.
Use the Wizard to Setup and Check Features
Use the Zapatec DHTML Menu Wizard to create a DHTML Menu with the exact features you want. Once you are done, click on generate and you can cut and paste the code into your web page.
You can also use the Wizard to try out different configuration options and see how they affect your menu.
New effects
Apply glide, fade, or both effects to your menus resulting in a more splashy presentation. Check out the demo.
Tooltips in your menu
Just add the "Title" property to your and these will now be used as tooltips just as in standard HTML. Check out the demo.
Menu icons
Zapatec menu package includes icons for common Internet menu items such as buy, shopping cart, products, services, home, etc. Check out the demo.
Propagated Class Attribute
As part of our approach of making menu construction feel like standard HTML the "class" attribute for any LI is propagated to the menu. Not only can you use our themes, but you can customize them using your own CSS classes.
Window Border Detection
The menu detects when a sub-menu will not fit on the screen and display it in the opposite direction. If a vertical sub-menu is too close to the right hand side of the screen, for instance, it will display to the left instead of to the right.
Well documented javascript code
The DHTML Menu's javascript objects, properties and methods are well documented and include the color coded Javascript source.
Commercial and Lite license
The Zapatec DHTML Menu is available as either a commercial or a lite license. If you do not pay for the menu you need to include a link to http://www.zapatec.com/website/main/products/prod2.
